The Republican National Committee’s (RNC) platform committee on July 8 approved a new policy platform, a document that details the party’s aims and strategy for the next four years.

The platform is titled “Make America Great Again!” The policy statement mirrors former President Donald Trump’s agenda and includes 20 action points that appear frequently in his campaign speeches.
